smart is per sector ... red upgrade is for the whole leg i think ?

If red is for the entire leg then the difference might not be that pronounced.

Say a red upgrade ATH-VIE-PEK would be 500 to 600EUR, while a smart upgrade would probably be 100-150EUR for ATH-VIE + 300-400EUR for VIE-PEK, so in total around 400 to 550 EUR.

IAD seems to be the most succesful route for upgrades.^

Is there any rhyme or reason on what to offer? Is the lowest possible amount something that Austrian is "prepared" to accept or is it a good idea to start higher? I've also seen it mentioned that they may counteroffer; how often does that happen? Also, has anyone worked out what to offer based upon the seatmap and availability?

Lightbulb "Pending?"

So is "Pending" a nice way of saying "Rejected" or does it mean I'm still in the running? I know some have posted about "offer accepted" notifications closer in than 72 hours (I fly out this Friday night IAD-VIE), but do rejections come faster?

Is it possible to get Smart Upgrade if ticket is not on OS ticket stock? I don't see the option online when using my OS reference number, is it possible if I call in to Austrian? If, as I suspect, Smart Upgrade is only offered to those booked on OS ticket stock, does anyone know what the fixed upgrade price is for IAD-VIE?

You can still upgrade for the fixed price in IAD at the counter.

Thanks. Do you know how much that costs and how/if I can predict if it will be available? Should I still OLCI or wait until I get to the airport?

Thank you for the advice.
